Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds and your choice of jam or raisins. Mix well and set aside to thicken. This creates a delicious, naturally sweet filling.
In a larger bowl, combine the dry-roasted oats and chopped pistachios. Add the plant-based butter and mix until the oats and nuts are evenly coated. This adds a rich, buttery flavor to the bars.
Lightly grease a baking tray. Spread a thin, even layer of the oat mixture onto the prepared tray. This forms the base of your bars.
Carefully spread the chia seed and jam mixture over the oat base, ensuring an even layer. This adds a burst of flavor and a chewy texture.
Top with the remaining oat mixture, gently pressing down to create a firm and even top layer.
Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C). Bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly firm. Baking at a lower temperature ensures the bars cook evenly without burning.
Let the bars cool completely in the tray before slicing into squares. Cooling allows the bars to set and makes them easier to cut.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For a fruitier twist, layer homemade chia jam (made with mashed berries and chia seeds) between the oats mixture before baking to create a vibrant, tangy center.
If you prefer extra crunch, lightly toast the oats and pistachios in a dry skillet before incorporating them—this intensifies their flavor and texture.
To help the bars hold together firmly, press the mixture into the pan using the flat bottom of a measuring cup or glass, ensuring a compact and even layer.

Expert Tips

Customize your bars with different nuts and seeds like almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds for varied flavor and nutritional profiles.
For a sweeter treat, drizzle melted dark chocolate or a simple glaze made with powdered sugar and milk over the cooled bars.
These bars are great for meal prepping. Cut them into individual portions and store them for grab-and-go breakfasts or snacks throughout the week.

Storage Instructions

Store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or individually wrap and freeze for a month—perfect for quick breakfasts or snacks on busy mornings.
